What women's watches are in fashion in 2022

How Fashion Watch Trends Are Defined

Of course, fashion weeks for watches are not held, but large exhibitions are a worthy replacement for them. So, for example, Watches & Wonder is held annually in the spring. The event was founded in 1991. One of the main initiators was the well-known jewelry brand Cartier.

Another event that defines watch trends is the Baselworld exhibition, which began to be held much earlier - in 1917. A global exhibition is held every year in the spring, however in 2020 and 2021 the event did not take place due to the pandemic.

These two events and other similar exhibitions determine what will be in vogue for the coming year. Here it must be said that watch trends are not as unambiguous as trends in clothes or shoes, because each world brand has a unique style of its products and does not deviate from it in favor of short-term desires.

In the 2022 season, the following trends have emerged in the fashion for women's watches:

• Green color;
• Perpetual calendar;
• Miniature dial;
• Square housing;
• Bold youth watches.

In general, this season is under the banner of freedom and self-expression, so you should not get too hung up on trends, especially if they go against the internal state and style.

Vert

Green in the season 2021-2022 has become one of the most trendy shades and not only in the design of women's wristwatches, but also in clothing - it was highlighted by topical manufacturers of bags, down jackets, hats.

In the design, green was used in different ways - someone decorated a strap with them, someone a dial, and someone a bezel - a rotating ring on the front of the dial. The craving for green was particularly evident at Watches & Wonder, where global companies such as Rolex, Hublot, TAG Heuer and Jaeger-LeCoultre showed new models with designs ranging from grassy to swamp or emerald.

For those who can not imagine life without a chronometer - an additional mechanism for measuring individual time intervals, the already mentioned company Rolex has released a model in yellow gold with a green dial.

Later, after the thundering exhibitions, green watches began to appear at more affordable watch brands. So, for example, the Swiss company Swatch added to the catalog models in swamp, mint and bright green shade.

Perpetual Calendar

The perpetual calendar function is both fashionable and practical. And if you think that such models can be exceptionally massive and thick, then the brands Bvlgari and Vacheron Constantin are ready to prove the opposite – their thin, elegant watches with a perpetual calendar will be an excellent addition to business style or casual wardrobe.

Miniature dial

Feminine watches for fragile girls are models with a small dial. They were re-introduced into fashion by the brands Hermes and Baume & Mercier, making them part of the latest collections.

@baumeetmercier

Miniature watches are considered to be classics of women's wardrobe, so the leading watch brands have never removed them from catalogs - they were just not sharply trendy. You can find fashionable women's watches with a reduced dial in Cartier, Chopard and the budget brand Swatch.

Square housing

Strict, angular, restrained square body perfectly reflects the seriousness of the owner. Depending on the design, fashionable women's watches with a square case can become part of the styles of glamour, casual, preppy or even boho.

Elegant model from Guess with rounded corners and inlay with stones around the perimeter - the choice of romantic, but self-confident girls. Such a watch will look equally laconic complete with a strict jacket or a flying dress.

The gold SANTOS watch from Cartier will also fit into the business image - they also have a streamlined shape, but a pronounced square dial.

Another luxury brand Chanel demonstrated its own view of the trend - there is a complex watch with a small square dial and a calfskin strap.

A wide range of Sofia with a square dial in different shades came out at Dolce & Gabbana. Here and trend green, and blue, and burgundy - it remains only to choose.

In the budget, as well as the middle price segment, square watches were presented by Anne Klein, Romanson, Tissot.

Youth

Fashionable watches for girls and women do not have to be strict and elegant - trends have a lot of extraordinary models that perfectly complement any wardrobe - from eclecticism to avant-garde.

Just look at the new model Chanel J12 X-RAY made of white gold sapphires, laid out in a rainbow gradient.

But not everyone can afford Chanel - especially since the model is released in only 12 copies. But this is not a reason to despair - other brands have fashionable women's wristwatches with notes of rebelliousness. Piaget, like Chanel, decided to play with the gradient and released a precious quartz watch with a round dial. For this model, they received the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve.

And while everyone else is experimenting with forms and designs, the American company RGM Watch Company pleases the beautiful half of humanity with a delicate flower collection. Their watches will perfectly fit into the image of young, light and fresh girls - it will turn out to be youthful, somehow in the spring.

Fashionable youth watches can be with a hint of a sporty style - and it can be both electronic accessories - fitness bracelets and smart watches, and classic models.

Michael Kors watches – for example, MK5191 – will fit perfectly into the youth bow. This is a model with a quartz chronograph and a stainless steel strap covered with a polyurethane shell.

For girls who love unusual colors, the model Bradshaw MK5628 is suitable. It is made in a light brown shade, giving off pink.

Outgoing trends in the world of watches

It is difficult to talk about irrelevant models - whether it is a bag, trousers, or a watch, because the sense of style does not always coincide with the requirements of the fashion world. Nevertheless, in the watch industry there is a drop in the list of fashion trends:

• Large. A couple of years ago, massive models were an indicator of status and refined taste. And if today in such a watch you will still look relevant, in a few months you may find yourself behind a fashionable board. If your collection consists only of large items, it's time to look after a new copy;
• An abundance of stones. We are talking here about artificial stones, and about natural precious ones. Now minimalism is in vogue and, no matter how strange it may sound, modest luxury - do not seek to stand out with an abundance of stones on the strap and body;

• Miniature. Together with the advent of the trend for miniature dials, the fashion for small watches is leaving the pedestal. This means that it is worth abandoning the barely noticeable clock on your hands. If you choose a model with a reduced dial, his bracelet should not be thin;
• With long strap. And although brands still produce variants with long straps that go around the arm several times, the peak of their popularity has passed.

But do not rush to throw away your favorite watches, if they are on this list - fashion is cyclical, which means that outdated models today will definitely again be in the category of trends tomorrow.

Wristwatches and clothing style

About the most fashionable models of women's watches told, but this is not all you need to know about the accessory. In order for the outfit to be really relevant, it is important to know how and with what to combine watches of different shapes, sizes and designs, as well as to be able to choose an accessory for different styles in clothing.

• Casual. Casual style in clothing is friendly with almost all types of watches. An exception may be specific sports models with an abundance of mechanisms and additional dials. Otherwise, rely on your taste and the above trends;

• Business. Business style in clothing is a classic, and a classic watch is appropriate here. Regardless of what the fashionable watch world dictates, the perfect complement to the costume will be an elegant watch on a leather strap, as well as models made of stainless steel or precious metals of medium size. The main rule is that the accessory should not distract from professionalism;

• Minimalism. Minimalistic style in clothing, as a subspecies of the avant-garde, is restraint and originality at the same time. This style will perfectly fit both classic watches with a minimum of decor of a neutral shade, and more daring models of unusual shapes. But don't overdo it – the main thing in a minimalist outfit should still be you;

• Boho and ethno. Sublime, sometimes a little strange boho and ethno - a story about the love of nature, so products with a strap imitating a tree or with a floral print on the dial will fit perfectly here. Wood products are usually designer watches and you will have to look for them, but printed models are a ubiquitous option and are presented in almost every brand;

• Pajamas and linen. For a light lingerie style, there are two ways – to play on contrasts or to maintain weightlessness in the image. In the first case, to light dresses-combinations and suits made of silk, pick up a brutal watch, as if from a man's wrist. In the second - neutral, you can even classic models with a strap of medium thickness and a miniature dial;

• Gypsy. In the multi-layered gypsy style of the gypsy , a watch with a long strap is asked for - it will create the effect of numerous bracelets on the arm. But remember that this variety got into the list of fading trends. An alternative may be medium-sized options with a leather strap and a dial of unusual colors;

• Glamour. The first thing that comes to mind is an accessory strewn with diamonds, but this is hardly a good solution. It is better to take a closer look at the clock decorated with single stones. You can choose any material of the strap and case, but gold or silver are better suited, of course.
